Ghostface Killah - Nutmeg - YouTube
All of it is
, but that's my shyt, though.
Ghost's abstract style is all about visualizing the phrases he's using
"Scientific; my hand kissed it"
sweet science, Ghost knocked it out, coming in swinging
"robotic, listed optimistic"
it's automatic how he goes in, rock em sock em robot shyt, bet on Ghost, odds in your favor
"you prolly missed it; let me dolly dikk it"
he knows he's gone past you already with this style, gonna back it up & fukk your eardrum slow now
"Scotty Wotty copper tipped me; big microphone hippie"
the homie Scotty Wotty, neighborhood MC from Shaolin, put the battery (duracell) in his back, turned a lil Ghost into a mic hippie all about loving rhymes
check Scotty here:
"hit Poughkipsie, crispy chicken birds that work with Stone Richie"
he dipped out of the city to either get with or run some "crispy" girls that roll with Stone Richie? this is the line I'm the least sure of
"chop the o, sprinkle a lil snow inside the optimo"
chop the ounce and sprinkle some cocaine inside the optimo blunt
"swing the John McEnroe"
tennis reference...run the (crime) racket like a pro
"rap, rock n roll, tidy bowl"
rap, rock, it's all the same shyt, flush it down, clean it out, drop another deuce
"gunhole pro, Starsky with the gumsole"
not just a gun expert, but a gun hole expert...motherfukker is shooting you for sure, and he's a detective, flipping Starks to Starsky, ala Starsky & Hutch, & describing his gumsole aka gumshoe aka detective
"hit the rump slow"
duh
"parole kid: live Rapunzel"
what did Rapunzel do? let her hair down...Ghost is telling the kid on parole to relax and enjoy himself now that he's free and don't be all stressed out...in other words, let his hair down (and hit the rump slow yo)
"but Tone stizzy really high, the vivid lazer eye guide"
but Ghost's steeze is very high, as his red eye from puffing herb is like a lazer sight directing all the illness he bestows upon us
"jump in the Holly Rock, Clarks, I freak a lemon pie"
Ghost jumps in on this:
wearing yellow Wallos
"I'm bout it bout it, "lord forgive me" Miss Sally shouted, Tracy got shot in the face, my house was overcrowded"
Watch your home's capacity when throwing a wild ass party yo
"you fake cats done heard it first, on how I shytted on your turf, halftime, Cuban Link verse yo: 'check out the rap kingpin, summertime, fine jewelery dripping,' face in your box, I seen your ear twitching"
fake people heard before the rest as Ghost addresses them directly before setting it in rhyme, and then takes a break to spit a section of a rhyme from Cuban Linx, and then drops the double meaning as the listener's face is in the boombox bumping Ghost and Ghost-Face is in the boombox as everyone & their auntie blasted Cuban Linx, and Ghost saw your head nodding before he drove off
"soon as I drove off, Cap came to me with 3 sawed-offs, gave one to Rae, let's season their broth"
pretty basic
"lightning rod fever heaters"
tonz o gunz
"knock-kneed to Shiva for heav-a"
Not sure on the ending, but I always liked to think the image was begging to the destroyer for heaven
"fever got knocked from the receiver bleeder"
your hot headedness is deaded once Ghost airs you out
"portfolio, looking fancy in the pantry"
his rhymes are flavorful enough they stand out in the pantry
"my man got bigger dimes son, your shyt is scampi"
your dimebags are shrimpy/small
"base that, put it to your mouth, don't waste that"
add coke to the weed and smoke it up right quick
"see Ghost lamping in the throne with King Tut hats"
and I think you get that image
no problem breh.
